Udviklingskit til ARM Cortex-M4 applikationer

Texas Instruments lancerer Stellaris LaunchPad, der er et fleksibelt og fuldt funktionelt low-cost udviklingskit til ARM Cortex-M4 udviklere (in english).

Expanding its innovative LaunchPad portfolio to the ARM ecosystem, Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a new low-price, easy-to-use Stellaris LM4F120 LaunchPad evaluation kit.

The tool allows professional engineers, hobbyists and university students to begin exploring ARM Cortex-M4F microcontrollers and TI’s Stellaris family of microcontrollers for under $5 USD.

The core of the new LaunchPad is a Stellaris LM4F120 MCU with best-in-class low power, integrated analog and floating point performance and lends itself to the highly flexible and modular design environment of the LaunchPad with abundant peripherals for real-time digital signal control.

The Stellaris LaunchPad brings consumer electronics, human interface control, health & fitness and many more applications to a wider audience of developers. The kit includes all the hardware and software needed for developers, hobbyists and university students to get started in 10 minutes or less.

The Stellaris LaunchPad uses the BoosterPack XL connection standard that consists of two pairs of dual gender 20-pin stackable headers. Those forty easy-to-access pins allow interface with external components (BoosterPacks) or custom daughter boards.

Two sets of 20 pins on the outer rows of the board have similar functions to the primary header pins on existing MSP430 and C2000 LaunchPad kits, allowing developers to add greater functionality and speed design and exploration. Two inner rows offer an additional 20 pins of Stellaris-based expansion signals for BoosterPack development.
